New York Mets Expect Mets to send off Clay Holmes at MLB trade deadline By Jon Heyman Published July 30, 2026, 9:03 p.m. ET New York Mets pitcher Clay Holmes (35) pitches in the first inning when the New York Mets played the New York Yankees Friday, May 15, 2026 at Citi Field in Queens, NY. Robert Sabo for NY Post The Mets and Clay Holmes aren’t engaged in contract negotiations, so he’ll almost surely go in trade.
He’s looked fine in his rehab starts, which nearly every contender attended.
Holmes, a two-time All-Star, and Luke Weaver should bring the biggest return for the Mets.
Weaver would be a great fit for the Pirates, who could use him to close.
